  Posted on September 10, 2015 by Ali J. in All Things Dexter, All Things Fashionable, Favorites, Uncategorized

  Yesterday was one of those days, well….. the day before that too, and the day before that one. Days filled with tantrums, screaming and tears for reasons I can’t explain or understand. Yesterday I was THAT mom in the grocery store. The mom with a toddler screaming at the top of his lungs….. the. whole. time. I […]

          Today was a good day. Today we made pancakes and ate breakfast with daddy. Today we spent the day outdoors and played and worked and played some more. Today we planted kale and spinach and started a flowerbed. Today we had a bonfire and sat side by side on the ground […]

  Why I Blog

  Posted on January 12, 2015 by Ali J. in All Things Fashionable, Favorites

          To many, blogging may seem like a really weird thing to do. It’s certainly never anything  I personally thought I would ever do. It started as simply a way to motivate me to record little bits and pieces of Dexter’s childhood.  A way to forever capture little memories that, without the […]

  Posted on December 19, 2014 by Ali J. in All Things Dexter, Favorites

            A few weeks ago I was faced with an extremely difficult decision. A decision that had me tossing and turning at night. One that, before it was made, kept my stomach in knots and drove me to tears. What was it? I was faced with the dilemma of whether or […]

I whispered ‘I love you’ like I do every night […]

  Posted on October 6, 2014 by Ali J. in All Things Dexter, Favorites

      I’d like to preface this post by saying I’m not pregnant nor do I have plans to be anytime in the near future. That being said I am missing being pregnant so bad right now. Maybe it’s because it was this time of year when I first felt those little tiny flutters of […]

  More Than Words

  Posted on September 15, 2014 by Ali J. in All Things Dexter, Favorites

          We have been battling the seasonal cold over here this week. Poor little guy was so tired and stuffy today. Going to bed tonight he crawled up on my chest and wrapped his arms around my neck and just laid there with his chin tucked right under mine and gazing up […]
